I arrived home Thursday night with much relief after the 40 hours in airports/planes. I can already feel the temptation setting in to return to normal life like I lived before I went to Thailand. However, a part of me believes that is hardly possible because of the change God has done in my heart. The growth I experienced through this trip is something I never want to forget. I move forward with a thankful heart for the overflow of blessings God has given me: My eyes have been opened to the heart of God in a way I had never known before. Chains have fallen off of me that I didn't know existed. I look forward to the future, but not in the way I did before. I used to pine after the future and past, never being content in the present. However, God has now given me a joy and peace in the present as I eagerly await the future more patiently than before. Also, at the beginning of last month, I prayed for more faith. Oh how He has answered. I know I can forever need more faith, but my faith has certainly grown leaps and bounds this month that I didn't even know was possible in such a short time. God is so faithful.
